Tina Gayle has dropped by to discuss her baby boomer romance novel "Stormy," which is an older couples romance story. Um, sorry, but he's not going to drop the towel. Even my NC-17 rating doesn't allow for that.
“Damn
it, Daniel, if I find you with a young chickadee like I did my ex-husband,” she
growled as she trudged up the staircase. “I might be tempted to...”
Her
gaze immediately fell on the empty king-size bed. Exasperated by her inability
to find him, she quickly scanned the entire room...desk area, open closet,
bathroom... the door closed. Light glowed through the seam between the floor
and the bottom edge. “Daniel, if you’re in the bathroom come out this minute.”
The
entrance opened, and he stood in the doorway.
Problem, he wore only a towel.
Awe, shit... she didn’t need to see his bare chest
covered in crisp dark hair, the sculptured muscles of his arms and shoulders,
developed pecs, and thick thighs.
Damn, how was she supposed to resist such
temptation?
Desire
added to the anxiety she’d already experienced on her drive here, lit her
anger. “Why the hell didn’t you answer your phone? I’ve been calling and
texting you for the last two hours.”
A
confused frown passed over his handsome face. Instead of responding, he stepped
to the bedside table. He lifted his cell phone and clicked a few buttons.
Unable
to contain her impatience, Karen stalked forward.
He
glanced up when she grew closer and showed her the phone. “I don’t understand
it. I don’t show receiving any messages or calls. The signals must have gotten
lost because of the storm.”
She’d
suspected as much. Still, she refused to let him off the hook because he could’ve
contacted her before he left town. “You should’ve called me. But no...”
Having
endured his inability to communicate for months now, she stabbed her finger
through the air at him. “You never call. You always expect me to phone you.
Well, I’ve had it.”
The
distance closed between them and she stood inches from him. Her fingertip
tapped his chest. Static electricity sparked between them and her fist
unfolded. She stumbled backward.
“Whoa.”
Daniel caught her around the waist with one hand and held her close. His phone
landed on the bed before he circled his other arm around her. His strong grip
held her steady and didn’t allow her to step away. “You’re right. I guess I’m
just use to...”
“Don’t
say it. I’ve heard it too many times. Sharon might have resented the interruptions,
but I’m not her. I’m never in any type of meeting that you could possibly
disrupt.” Karen spread her hands over his chest and worked to maintain a
smidgen of distance. Nevertheless, with him so near, his warmth surrounding her
in a seductive cocoon, she had to fight the urge to melt against him.
“Yes,
but if I called you whenever I wanted we’d never get off the phone.” The husky
tone of his voice pulled her gaze upward.
Spying
the silly grin on his face, she shook her head. “Don’t play with me, Daniel. I
was worried that something bad might’ve happened to you.”
He
cupped the back of her neck and guided her head to his shoulder. “You worry too
much. Nothing’s going to happen to an old dog like me.”

Did you hear that, ladies? His secret desire is to go beyond vanilla sex. Maybe if we get some volunteers for him he'll be willing to drop the towel after all. Can't hurt.
